The news was a big blow to fans of the franchise eager to see him play, and of course to Embiid himself, who has been itching to play since he was selected by the Sixers last June.
The Sixers stated that they anticipated that the surgery would take place within 7-10 days from the initial announcement.
From Sam Hinkie:
"We have spent the last several weeks working closely with Joel and his representatives to further evaluate Joel's foot. A collective decision has been made that the best approach to promote full healing would be to proceed with a bone graft on the fracture site."
Is it possible that the 'collective decision' didn't actually account for Embiid's input?
Since that announcement, both sides have been strangely silent on the issue.
There has not been a single update from the Sixers explaining the delay, or outlining a course of action. Embiid, famous for his Twitter tactics, has been uncharacteristically quiet on his social media accounts. Embiid's social media silence is interesting. Given the timing, you have to wonder if maybe someone told him to lay low for the time being in order to avoid potential issues.
#TrustMeOrTrustTheProcess |
Both sides' silence, and the continual delay in the expected surgery makes one wonder if the two sides are not seeing eye-to-eye on the issue.
There was a report that Embiid had re-broken the bone, but video of him walking around town without any sort of boot or cast, and an adamant denial by his college coach that he hadn't re-broken anything make that report seem suspect. Especially strange is that Embiid's last Instragram caption reads: 'My time is COMING.' It was posted prior to the team's announcement.
Also included on that post was the hashtag #TrustMeOrTrustTheProcess, which seems like a jab at the Sixers slogan 'Trust the Process,' pitting himself against the process; potentially saying that he is ready but the team isn't. I could be reading into it too much, but that seems like a bit of subtle frustration coming through.
Could it be that the Sixers want Embiid to have a second surgery but he does not want to have it?
The team has preached patience, but it is completely feasible that a young Embiid would be against being shelved for a second straight season if he didn't feel it necessary. If he knew that he needed the surgery in order to solidify his NBA future, it seems he would be willing and wanting to get it done as soon as possible.
A difference of opinion between the two sides could be a very rational explanation for the delay in surgery, and the lack of information.
Well written, but not much more then click bait. But hey you got me here.
